The synagogue stepped in last minute because the previous venue - a hotel - pulled out because of the threats surrounding it, drummed up by politicians. Antisemitism isn’t because of Israel - Israel exists because of antisemitism. The hate towards British Jews spiked on October 7 when Israelis were still being killed and kidnapped. Once again, Emily, you are showing why you don’t know enough to get involved in these debates.

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with. Prison is where they belong. Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.

It's not allowed. Perhaps @metpoliceuk and @CPSUK are interested in this breach of jury rules?

The United Kingdom has an extraordinarily proud military history. It commands our respect. There is again a great need for more British military strength in this critical time. We urge the UK to meet that need with urgency, scale, and determination. 1/

This is not just completely untrue, but it is also dangerous and irresponsible to tell people this. The organisers have denied very strongly that the event involved the sale of land in the West Bank: 'All exhibitors, without exception, will provide information about properties and projects within the Green Line' He should withdraw this immediately. jewishnews.co.uk/foreign-sec…

Many journalists were concerned, understandably, about the reported deaths of "journalists" in Gaza. It's striking how uninterested they are in the unraveling of many of those stories. We're all lucky to have @Aizenberg55 doing the work the press should be doing:

New planning rules were approved tonight to protect our neighbourhoods and family homes from being turned into Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). From tomorrow (12 June), Landlords will need planning permission for all HMOs. Cllr Marilyn Ashton, Deputy Leader explains more

“Contaminated with apartheid and Zionism.” The anti-Israel mob have officially stopped pretending this isn’t about targeting Jews. Stickers calling to boycott Israeli goods were placed on a box of matzah in Sainsbury’s in Clifton, Bristol. However, the manufacturer – Rakusen’s – is based in Yorkshire. This is not a product from Israel. This is a British kosher manufacturer, based in the north of England. Any pretence of this being about Israel has dropped. They simply saw kosher products in a supermarket and decided that it was fair game to vandalise. In the 1930s, Nazi propaganda used analogies which compared Jews to parasites, in an effort to dehumanise them and to justify the cleansing of German society from what was perceived to be an unhygienic, contaminating threat. Boycotts of Jewish goods and businesses were also an attempt to rid society of Jews. These stickers echo those disturbing ideas. We understand that the store manager was alerted and that a police investigation is currently underway. The targeting of Jewish goods, which bear no connection to Israel, in the name of activism only does one thing: it targets Jews.

When the Foreign Secretary says Hezbollah must end its dangerous attacks and disarm, does she expect it to happen voluntarily? Sir Julian Lewis highlights the absurdity of the government's position towards Hezbollah Watch here 👇

Today we remember the sacrifice and bravery of the British and Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. They fought for freedom, duty, and our values. We will never forget their sacrifice.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

Just attended the drop and go service for unwanted items. #stanmore @HAConservatives @harrow_council With @StephenGreek portfolio holder 👍👍👏👏🙏

This is an utter disgrace. One of the great cultural institutions of this country has demonstrated that intimidation works and surrendered to an antisemitic mob. Jewish people are being bullied out of British public life.

Good news for residents and taxpayers in Enfield. Sad for Rotten Boroughs, as Labour Enfield has been a rich source of dodgy stories for years.

When @alexgeorgiou said he was planning to take the Council people scoffed - especially the Enfield Labour group. But, with an amazing team of councillors and candidates, they did it. What a win for Enfield residents, I couldn’t be happier for you all!!!

Amazing news. Huge congrats to @alexgeorgiou and the Enfield Conservative team. Very well deserved!

Tonight, the Conservative Group has taken control of the London Borough of Enfield. Congratulations to Cllr Alessandro Georgiou on becoming the new Leader of the Council.

Reform members and supporters complaining that “Restore will split the vote and let Labour win” without a hint of irony is something to behold.

Our enforcement officers have a particular set of skills. Skills that track fly-tippers and take them to court - like this one on Malvern Ave Jasem Shoker pleaded guilty to dumping tyres and wood pallets - he has to pay £1,056. If you fly-tip we will find you & fine you 👊

Delighted to attend the annual @harrow_council meeting this evening & listen to excellent speeches from @Blackman4Nicola & @paresh4change proposing @TeliYogesh as Mayor. Wonderful to see 41 @HAConservatives councillors elected. @HEConservatives @HarrowWestCA & @DSimmonds_RNP
